        <p>
      This can be helpful in setting a up verse and chorus structure in the score. Names may contain letters and numerals.
    </p>
        <p>
      For example, the following score:
    </p>
        <pre class="programlisting">
<span class="stamnt">m</span> foo
<span class="stamnt">i</span>1 0 1
<span class="stamnt">i</span>1 1 1.5
<span class="stamnt">i</span>1 2.5 2
<span class="stamnt">s</span>
<span class="stamnt">i</span>1 0 10
<span class="stamnt">s</span>
<span class="stamnt">n</span> foo
<span class="stamnt">e</span>
</pre>
        <p>
      Will be passed from the preprocessor to Csound as:
